    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Use of autotune and voice effects make this album simply awful and I’m sorry to say but she should retire from music.… Expand

    Like she promised, pretty dance-y album. When clubs are allowed to open again, I can't wait to listen to half of these tracks on the dance floor. One, maybe two fillers, but essentially, a solid dancepop effort.

    The album for sure is the most comercial of her career. This is pure class dance pop.

    The comeback of the year. Mel C is likely to return to the upper realm of the UK charts with this strong and compelling body of work. It's current pop with some trademark Melanie C moments. Her vocals and musicality are on point and it has the maturity and depth you come to expect from British pop royalty. Way to go, Sporty.

    It'a an album of bangers cooked shophisticatedly. Melanie is in her best form. Listening to it non stop. Wishing desperatedly for a dancefloor to dance it along (if we could) . Loved MELANIE C!

    This is Melanie's eighth studio LP and honestly, it could very well be her best! Charted in the UK at #8 on main Top 100 albums, #6 on Vinyl Albums, and #1 on Independent album charts, respectively.
    Track highlights include "Who I Am", "Good Enough", "Escape", "Nowhere to Hide" and my favourite, third single "In And Out Of Love".

    A great mix of light and dark tracks, with an empowering message and plenty of catchy lines. I've had parts of each song stuck in my head all week. Definitely her best album so far.

    Its her most consistent work in 2 decades. It came a little later in the vintage-disco-pop trend but its well made. And her voice is stronger than ever.

    An electro/disco-infused pop album that does what good pop does best: celebrate our weaknesses, acknowledge our scars, and dance some of the pain away.

    Overall, Melanie C is just good ol’ fun that does exactly what it says on the tin, and occasionally unearths moments of greatness like “End of Everything” and “Who I Am” which elevate the album into more memorable pastures.

    Loving the Spice Girls today is an exercise in childhood nostalgia; Melanie C honours those fans – and herself – as adults worthy of hearing themselves in vital pop.
